In the wrong forum I think.

What's up with all you people refusing games in the top 20-i.e. Mcdonan, lucksee, sintubin. Come on.

They are so concern about their rating that they are afraid to accept challenges, not all of them since my dad have played against 5 of the top 20 players!

Maybe they are put off a little because of your timeout rules in your profile. 😀

No, that's not it. When you challange them it says not accepting any games.😠

Remember that 'not accepting any games' is different to 'not accepting games from players rated lower than xxxx. The former just means that they are up to their self imposed game limit.

There is no limit on games. Read your messag wrong. Self-imposed is true, but not refusing games with players lower that xxxx. Do they have their limit set to 1700?😠

yes, you're absolutly right. The fact that they're at their self imposed upper game limit is a personal attack on you to prevent you playing them and progressing up the board. Get real!
Did you even bother to look at how many games these people had on the go? the 3 you named:

mcdonan - 2
lucksee - 0 (has left the site?)
sintubin - 0 (has left the site - it says as much in his profile!!)

many of the top 20 players play 2-10 games at a time, so are probably pretty selective about who they play because they want to play specific people. Some play more (David Tebb - 16, BBar - 18... I know Feivel plays quite a few...)

Maybe if you sent a few messages asking if they want to play you, instead of insulting them and basically calling them cowards, you might get a few games...

You mean a post like mine that was an open challenge to any of the top players? Trust me, the post worked wonders.
